can it be stored and used outdoors?

Hummm, I don't think it will survive the rust! Maybe if you spray a coat of rust proofing!

You can if you want, but it's not going to last a long time. From the material of the pads, you can tell it's going to deteriorate quickly from alternating sunny/rainy seasons.

I think that would be ok, but not sure. Flat surface is needed. Not sure about rush.

I would say technically it would work outdoors, but I wouldn't do it. Like the others have said, I think the weather would affect it in many ways. Plus it weighs a ton!! Not fun or easy to move around!

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

Yes it can be used outdoors but it must be protected from rain and snow such as on a covered porch. I have one high up on a covered porch so not water hits it through this cold winter in PA and so far no problems. If not protected from water it cannot be used outdoors.

No I don't think using it outside is wise. Unless being used in a covered area outside where water will not be able to get into the top area. Top is open - apart from wood framing, the cover is plastic so don't really think it will stand up much to sun, rain and wind elements.

Heather, I would not leave it up outside. However, it is very easy to set up and take down. Good luck.

There is no reason to use this product outside. It's for indoor growing so it wouldn't make sense to put it outside. If you are asking if this product is durable enough to be put outside, I would have to say no for a longterm answer. It would probably get blown over, wet, and ruin the product. Can be used in a garage, house, barn, etc..

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.

I keep mine inside however, being that it is painted and not exposed metal I would think that it would be fine outside. The only issue I foresee is maybe the rubber drying out over time but you could always tape it up if that happens. I wouldn't worry about keeping it outside.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

Yes, it could be used outdoors. It would deteriorate quickly because it is not designed to be weatherproof. I do not think you would be happy with the heat output because you would lose the combustion gases which have most if the heat. I would look for a radiant heater for this application.

yes can use outdoors. waterproof.. okay in rain wouldn't try to use under water. :)

Absolutely, if you use it outside. It's not delicate, but, it's not indestructable.

It is made of painted metal so it should be safe to keep outdoors. The only problem I see is the potential for it to rust

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.

Yes. You could use it outside. It is so versatile. I would however not keep it out there forever. Anything metal will eventually rust, but for laundry days sure!! Let the sunshine!!

It is officially rated for indoor use but if you kept it out of the weather (dry) I don't see why you could not use it outdoors.
